While 88% of European firms report initiatives surrounding compliance with these or other voluntary reporting mechanisms, fewer than 25% of U.S.-based firms engage in these practices. U.S. government support for such programs is similarly lackluster. Though the U.S. signed comprehensive Guidelines issued by the OECD that cover issues such as human rights, the
environment, corruption, labor standards, and other issues of corporate behavior, little has been done to publicize the Guidelines or to make the national contact point person effective.
